I...I didn't say anything about being apathetic. I'm just saying we can't reason with them. As it's written: "For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believed. (1 Corinthians 1:21)"<br /><br />Men ultimately repent because God calls them. So we preach forgiveness though Christ, because forgiveness without Him certainly is nonsense. :P<br /><br />We write what we believe, Annette; I wasn't criticizing you. :)Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043756135381534162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693235843552652318.post-48097094573416963452010-11-19T15:04:44.653+00:002010-11-19T15:04:44.653+00:00That doesn't mean we have to be apathetic to t...That doesn't mean we have to be apathetic to their condition and stop trying. If we're gonna get non-believers to start believing, the first step is to show them His love.<br /><br />I wrote based on what I felt, and I doubt anyone would believe this came from my heart. If something deeply disturbs me, I write. If it takes an effort by more than just me to get people to believe and love, so be it - I'd rather have that that do nothing about the world's selfishness...Troisnyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810476380240261053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693235843552652318.post-86163816038589523532010-11-19T14:47:56.859+00:002010-11-19T14:47:56.859+00:00Forgiveness. I read a good devotional about this, ...Forgiveness. I read a good devotional about this, once: http://www.myutmost.org/11/1119.html<br /><br />As believers, we are under obligation to forgive, as it is written, "For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses. (Matthew 6:14-15 AMP)"<br /><br />But for those outside it is different; there is no argument for them to forgive, because everything they will ever know is of the earth. Forgiveness goes hand in hand with repentance, and you labeled it up there, the thing that holds people back from forgiving or repenting, whether believer or unbeliever, is selfishness. They expect other people to be more than they are, they set their hopes on men, and when they are dashed to the ground they cannot help but feel rejected.<br /><br />You cannot get an unbeliever to understand forgiveness. For us, it is the gift of God, but for them, as with all things concerning the Way, forgiveness is sheer absurdity.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043756135381534162noreply@blogger.com
